In France, ISTQB exams are run by the accredited bodies GASQ and CFTL. AutomationDataCamp delivers the preparation; the certificate is issued by the certification body — which is exactly what makes it valuable.

See the catalogueFrequently asked
What people ask
us most.
Do I need testing experience to sit the ISTQB Foundation exam?
No. CTFL has no experience prerequisite. It is precisely the certification designed to lay the foundations: it suits career changers, developers who want to formalise their quality knowledge, and newcomers to QA.
How does the exam work?
A 40-question multiple-choice paper in 60 minutes. You need 26 correct answers out of 40 (65 %) to be certified. If you are not sitting the exam in your native language, you get 25 % extra time.
Is the exam fee really included?
Yes, with no additional cost. And if you do not pass first time, a second attempt is offered. That is the point of the promise: you pay once.
How do I know I am ready?
Your online space calculates your progress in real time from the mock exams you pass and the scenarios you complete. A « ready to sit » indicator tells you explicitly when the moment has come — you are not guessing.
I have a job — how do I train without taking leave?
That is what the 24-hour individual format covers: either at weekends, or at 2 hours per evening from Monday to Friday. The 3-day corporate format remains available for sessions organised by your employer.
Which certification should I target next?
CTFL is the prerequisite for the advanced levels. Management-oriented profiles move on to CTAL Test Management, AI-oriented profiles to CT-GenAI. Many also continue into automation with Playwright or API testing.
